Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1537  Aftermath

The woman, Lu Mei Lin, raised her head and looked at her husband. She smiled sweetly. "It's fine, I'm only waiting for you." Si Bai frowned. The north border was different from Zhang Xu Kingdom's Capital City where the temperature was still somewhat warmer. He talked for some time with Heavenly General Lu.

Did Lu Mei Lin waited out here for so long?

He felt distressed. "Let's go inside where it's warmer." Si Bai walked to Lu Mei Lin's side.

Lu Mei Lin hummed lightly and looked at Si Bai up and down. When she first introduced Si Bai to her father, he was beaten up quite badly. Now, it didn't look like he was beaten up by her grandfather.

"Did Grandfather made things difficult for you? Grandfather can be quite a difficult person but he's only worried," Lu Mei Lin asked worriedly.

Si Bai shook his head. "Don't worry, Heavenly General Lu is a good person."

At least, he didn't beat him up.

Recalling the days when he first came to Lu Family Residence, Si Bai sighed deeply. Lu Mei Lin's father hated him quite a lot and ended up beating him for getting close to his daughter.

It was really painful.

Lu Mei Lin looked at Si Bai carefully and nodded her head. "It's good. I hope everyone in the Lu Family can accept you."

Si Bai smiled back and nodded. He will work hard to gain their acceptance.

On the dark, the shadow guard who had been following him received his faint signal from the movement of his hand and fingers. It looked extremely natural, but it had formed the code for them to know that the Lu Family was willing to switch their allegiance.

For the current Lu Family, the one that mattered the most was Heavenly General Lu.

Once Heavenly General Lu agreed to their proposal, the rest was easy to settle. The shadow guard silently left to tell the news.

…

<Long distance away, Zhang Xu Kingdom's Capital City, Nan Hua's location>

The matter of the Imperial Family members was settled very quickly. Many of them were executed immediately and then Emperor Yang Zhou set his eyes on the two noble families.

Lang Family and Jian Family.

In regards to Jian Family, Nan Hua chose not to see them. Since she had once infiltrated Zhang Xu Kingdom's Capital City in the past and had met with some people from Jian Family, she would not go in case they still remembered her.

After all, her beauty back then might have left quite the impression. "General Min chose to surrender?" Nan Hua asked in a low voice when she heard the piece of news from her soldiers.

"Yes, General Min no longer wants to fight and chose to surrender to Great General Wei."

Nan Hua had read the record of what General Min did on the frontline and noticed that he was not so bad. It was just that his opponents were not so powerful and thus, General Min couldn't be famous.

At least, not as much as many others generals and commanders.

But General Min himself was still in his twenties, which was quite young for a general. He was promoted rapidly in the past after General Zhang was sent to the north. From this, Nan Hua guessed that General Min was a tool General Zhang used to help him to gain prestige when he was moved.

Well, it was not important for the time being.

"Where's Commander Mao?"

"Commander Mao had died on the battlefield. He refused to follow Fei Yang Kingdom no matter what condition was offered and continued to fight with his soldiers. Great General Wei sent his soldiers specifically to kill him."

"I see." Nan Hua nodded.

It was quite a pity that another talent had fallen, but since Commander Mao refused to side with Fei Yang Kingdom, it would be better to kill him. They couldn't use him and they didn't want to spare too many people to watch over so many people who could be dangerous.

"Anything else?" Nan Hua asked as she looked at the soldiers giving report. There were so many things that happen. The reorganization of the officials in Zhang Xu Kingdom happened quite fast. Emperor Yang Zhou didn't want to waste so much time on dealing with them.

Since he had heard of their deeds and having bought several officials, he naturally knew the few people who sided with Prime Minister Lei and many others. Several of them were killed on the spot, some others were still under evaluation, and several others were retained to keep Zhang Xu Kingdom's Capital City under control.

Speaking of the name, Zhang Xu Kingdom's Capital City was renamed as Liang City.

Looking at the name, Nan Hua had strong feeling that Emperor Yang Zhou was using word play as a joke.

But she would not mention it.

Anyway, it didn't matter for her.

She only needed to know that the city had changed name and from now on, it will be called as Liang City. "Great General Wei said that he would like to review the battle not long ago. General Jun was called to the meeting place."

Battle review?

Recalling what her cousin did, Nan Hua could guess that it was estimated that Great General Wei was not satisfied with him. Considering that Feng Ao Si was indeed quite more suitable to be a martial artist as compared to be a commander.

For him to be able to raise to 3000 men commander was already quite high.

Without his adjutants who kept on maintaining the order, it was highly impossible for Feng Ao Si to be able to become a proper commander.

"Has everyone gone there?" Nan Hua stood up. She wanted to see what would happen to her cousin after this incident. How Great General Wei wanted to settle this was up to him. After all, he was the one responsible for the battle, so he had the power to handle the commanders who made mistake and so on.
